    The Magpie and Tiger is always a blast to come to. I've been here with friends multiple times and they always treat us well. Their karaoke system is convenient to use. The rooms are fairly soundproof and they have a decent menu for drinking and snacks. Ratings (out of 10): Service: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 Ease of use: 10/10 Price: 8/10 Food: 7/10 If you're in the area and looking for a fun time, definitely come by.

    Great service and my go to karaoke place! Highly recommend

    Amazing service!! My go to karaoke place and would highly recommend It has all the newest songs updated, and always 10/10

    Solid spot with food and alcohol options that are good. For karaoke, the selection from the book is alright but there are no official music videos. However, there is an option to switch to YouTube on a separate tablet. Plenty of space, there are some deals that go on from time to time. Food and drinks come quickly, but beyond that they leave you be!

    Short and sweet so I can go back to having fun singing with friends: Reasonable price, easy parking, kind staff, clean facilities. New favorite karaoke place :)

    I have been here multiple times for karaoke! Good clean rooms and youtube music for all rooms.

    Came here for a karaoke night with friends and had a great experience. The private rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a good sound system with a huge selection of songs, so everyone was able to find something to sing. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night, and the food and drinks were better than we expected. Overall, it was a fun atmosphere and a great place to spend a few hours with a group. We'll definitely be back!

    Had such a fun time at Magpie & Tiger! The private neon karaoke rooms are perfect for group hangouts and birthdays -- super clean, spacious, and great sound quality. They're open late until 2AM, which is amazing for late-night plans. We also loved that they offer Korean food and drinks, so it's easy to make a full night out of it. Bonus: there's a weekday promotion with 20% off karaoke, and they even have large private rooms that can fit up to 40 people, which is perfect for big celebrations. Booking was super easy through Yelp or Google, and the location in Santa Clara is very convenient. Definitely coming back with friends!

    Great spot, with great food. The rooms are large and fell furnished. The TV is large and there are disco lights! You have the option of a traditional Korean karaoke machine or using YouTube. The services is very quick and they are sweet people. Highly recommend this place during their happy hour! My karaoke new spot!

    I like the service, the setup and the ambiance of the place. The room is clean, well equipped and pretty new. The internet is a bit slow but we really enjoy the show. Great customer service as well. Happy hour is our fave

Just a small corner of seats, so I waited in the car. It took around 45 minutes for us to get seated, but after ordering, the food came out relatively quickly. This is now my go-to spot for galbijjim. I remember thinking right after we left the restaurant that night that I was already looking forward to our next visit. The rice cakes in there were chunky compared to most places, which made it a more enjoyable eat. It was my first time having sooyuk and I loved the cuts of meat in there, especially the tendon. I might just have to come here again on my next visit to SJ.

My preference is basically a shin ramyun which has a thicker broth. I loved how this had tteok, sausage, and spam. It's also wonderful that it comes out still boiling inside the stone pot. I love their fresh, sweet kimchi banchan. The place is nice and clean and the service is friendly. It's nice that they also have private rooms available. I liked it enough but if someone asked me a Korean place to eat, this isn't one that would come to the forefront of my mind. It's good but not mind blowing.

The decor is a little dated. Service was efficient and met expectations. We ordered Wang Mandoo, LA Galbi, and a Cold Noodle Combo. The Wang Mandoo were described as king size boiled dumplings with beef, pork, and kimchi, and the sizes did not disappoint -- indeed very huge, even larger than the mandoo I've had in Korea. The meat was tender and overall very tasty. The LA Galbi came out as large slices of BBQ short ribs and were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The cold noodle combo came with cold noodles in broth plus bulgogi. You can pick other protein but that's what we chose. The cold noodles were refreshing and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. The portions were fairly large. The bulgogi was probably the most disappointing of all the dishes we had. It was tender beef but lacked some bbq flavor. I appreciated the wide variety of Banchans that were brought out to our table. They also gladly refilled the banchans as needed.

    I've been to Paik's Noodle several times and have also tried locations in other cities! I forgot…read morewho originally recommended this place to me, but I'm glad they did Their prices are super good and their food is consistently good. I get the jajangmyeon ($10.95 for a small) every time, mostly because the noodle texture is TOP TIER. The noodles are thick, chewy, and springy, and they pair really well with the jajang (black bean) sauce. There are also plenty of ingredients mixed into the sauce, although I find it a little salty sometimes. The tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork, $15.95) is super crispy, and I really liked the tangy sauce with it. I personally prefer dipping the pieces in the sauce so they stay crispy, but you can also pour the sauce over if that's your preference! The restaurant can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, with waits usually around 10-30 minutes. There's plaza parking available nearby. Would definitely recommend if you like or want to try jajangmyeon!

The noodles for both dishes have a pleasantly chewy bounce to them. They are thick, satisfying, and cooked perfectly right. The Jajangmyeon's black bean sauce was savory with a touch of sweetness and contains peas, onions, and pork. The Jjamppong has a spicy seafood broth with squid, mussels, pork, and veggies. Every meal comes with pickled yellow radish on the side to help cut through the richness of the meal. Service is not what you come here for. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and a part of that was because they skipped our name on the waitlist. They claimed they called it, but we were standing less than 15 feet away from the front door and never heard a thing. The music the restaurant was playing outside didn't help. Once sat inside, it is a turn-and-burn operation. Food is ordered, dropped off, payment is collected, and nothing more. Again, don't go here for the service, go for the noodles. The atmosphere is casual and bit cramped. It has a cafeteria-like feel inside and can get a little noisy. Parking can be tricky especially when busy since they share a small parking lot with neighboring businesses. Bottomline, Paik's Noodle is good for a quick and solid bite but that's about it.

I try my best…read moreto be understanding and I usually never leave negative reviews, but this one I had to share. We ordered a combo (contains three dishes) and not only did they forget two of the three items, but when we asked for the two items they only brought out the second one over an hour later. By the time we were done with our second item, we asked them to just not bring out the third item in our combo because it was clear they hadn't even begun to prepare it because they forgot again. Despite only receiving two of the three items in our combo over the span of our two hours, they still charged us the full $73 for the combo. Additionally, they kept bringing out the wrong items and also brought out things twice when we had already received it. Food overall was undeniably bad for how it was priced. The quality of the pork in the katsu was extremely tough and stringy, not to mention how it was absolutely drowned in sauce. Kimchi fried rice was wet, as it was drowned in sauce and oil, barely fried. Chicken wings were also drenched in oil and sauce, and it was soggy, rubbery, and overall terrible. In conclusion, don't waste your time or money here. This was my second time at this establishment, and both times were atrocious.

We shared a soy garlic fried chicken and some fries with a beer and a few sojus. We were still hungry so we then ordered combo #4 and asked to replace the fish cake soup for more fries; our server originally denied the request but came back and said he'd do it this one time. I highly recommend ordering the combos here over ala carte! All the food came out piping hot and fresh. It was the perfect bar food; just really expensive for the quality of what you're eating. The place had ambient purple lighting inside, kpop & korean street food videos displaying on the TVs, tons of korean idol posters, and music absolutely blasting overhead. I enjoyed the lively vibe, but will say the music got a bit too loud and my friends and I really had to raise our voice to speak to each other. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and would definitely come back!
